It’s been awhile since we last heard about the Switch version of Payday 2, as it was announced during a Nintendo Direct several months ago. Today, Overkill Software shared an update.

Payday 2 will have a revamped interface on Switch, including usage of the touchscreen. Overkill also teased a “special treat” that will be shared later.

Payday 2 launches on Switch this winter. Check out a video for the game below.

We’re still about a month away from the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, but download cards for the games have started popping up in Japanese stores – and they show something rather interesting. It seems like Team Rocket will make an appearance in both games – the download card for Ultra Sun (see above, bottom left corner) shows a battle against a female Team Rocket grunt, while the download card for Ultra Moon (below) depicts a male grunt.

How exactly Team Rocket are involved in the game’s story is unknown at the moment. Still, if they are showcased on the download cards, it’s likely more than just a small cameo.

Switch has a major game landing this week in Super Mario Odyssey. It’s not the only 3D platformer heading to the console, however. Tomorrow, Poi is coming to Switch after initially missing out on Wii U.

We spoke with developer PolyKid just ahead of the launch to learn more about Poi. The studio chatted with us about the game itself, making the move from Wii U to Switch, and having to go up against Super Mario Odyssey in the same week.

Here’s our full discussion:

I can hardly believe that I’m writing this, but Nintendo Everything is now ten years old. We first opened our doors way back on October 23, 2007. 10 years is a long time to be doing anything. In the age of the internet especially, it practically feels like we’re a dinosaur at this point.

Here’s something very neat about Switch’s new firmware update. If you’ve installed the new 4.0.0 update, you can get GameCube controllers to work with the console. You just need the Wii U GameCube Adapter that Nintendo sold back in the day.

Once you’ve plugged the adapter in, you can pair the GameCube controllers to your Switch in the main menu. On the controller settings page, press L+R as you normally would. And that’s it! It should be working when you’re back on the main menu, and can work with games like Fire Emblem Warriors.

The only issue is that the GameCube controller doesn’t have a left Z button – there’s only the one Z button on the right, and only has a start button, so you can’t go back to the main menu. But hey: maybe GameCube controller support could be brought back for the eventual Smash Bros. Switch or theoretical GameCube Virtual Console?
